Roamin’ Rex

Who is Roamin’ Rex and where did he come from?

Rex has been travelling through time for many years before he landed in Kent in 2015. He has roamed the land with cavemen, marched with the Romans, cultivated the land with 16th century farmers, and cycled through the Victorian period.

Where did Rex get his name from?

Over the summer of 2015, the Wheels of Time museums ran a competition open to children across Kent. The task? To name our time travelling character…

We received over 50 entries with some great ideas for names. But there can only be one winner, and the winner was 5 year old Daniel, from Ashford, who came up with “Roamin’ Rex”. We awarded Daniel his prize (free entry to all 10 museums) at Ashford Museum in October 2015, presented to him by the museum Curator and the Town Mayor.

This is a genuinely awesome scheme. We have been to places we'd never have visited and found some real gems.
Love doing wheels of time with my daughter.

Just wanted to say what an amazing time my two children are having visiting the Wheels of time venues. We have explored our local museums on the Isle of Sheppey and have learnt so much! Looking forward to exploring more places over the next few weeks! Such a fantastic idea!!

It is one way of getting the adults to visit places they probably would never visit.
Been pleasantly surprised with the museums I have been to.

My daughter now has 14 collected. We are all learning so much.

My daughter has been so excited about Wheels of Time, it was the surprise hit of our Summer with her, and she keeps asking when she can go to more museums!

This a really great initiative for Kent - we are really enjoying it!

We have had a great time so far and up to 6 Badges Daughter is most excited and loving it.

It's such a great scheme and my boys are really enjoying it!

I'll have to borrow a child

My son visited 2 wheels of time today x
Was very proud as he has adhd and not always wants to take part

We've just visited our first attraction and am a little hooked now and can't wait to get them all!

… such a fantastic scheme that has enhanced my sons knowledge no end and been lots of fun along the way.
